haha google — little democrats

sometimes google is unintentionally hysterical.

sometimes it does things like, put an google ad for “why mommy is a democrat” on my sidebar.

Mommy is a Democrat because she likes to tell people what do do.
Mommy is into domination.

a modest proposal on global warming

simply harness the power of “The Gorebot Effect” to lower temperatures world wide.
he’s gonna need a bigger soapbox…

I have a lapel pin with the very same saying from this guy

What a maroon


PHOENIX — It’s still going to be legal in Arizona for trucks to have splash guards with racist terms and silhouettes of naked women.

The state House on Thursday rejected a Democratic amendment that would have banned splash guards with images that are “obscene or hateful.”

“I personally am tired of explaining to my 11-year-old son why they (women) are depicted on mudflaps , but not all women are 36Ds. He’s very confused by that,” Ulmer said.

How awful that the representative would have to, you know, actually parent…
The object of his affection

because it’s funny

it may be old but…

well that’s a pantload

In an apparent acknowledgment of the plummeting standard of public scientific education in the West, the UN’s nuclear tentacle today unveiled a new danger sign for radiation which must approach the nadir of literalism.

Bureaucratic waste watchers will be pleased to hear the daring new corporate identity for ionizing radiation is the result of just five years of research and testing on 1,650 individuals in 11 countries.

of course being in the creative ‘bizness’ I’d have to come up with twenty of these in 1/2 hour.
how do I get me one of these cushy UN jobs?

i gotta get out of here (v2)

Jeebus H. Keerist on a flaming pogo stick. did someone put something in our water? Now some jagoff wants to ban spinny wheels? Shat’s next? A blanket ban on shiny objects?

New York State is taking fresh legal steps to ban spinning hubcaps and wheels. Bill Number 1640 is presently being considered by the Senate Transportation Committee, and it would make such wheels illegal statewide. The bill was introduced previously, but it is now gaining traction after being reintroduced by State Senator John Sabini. The measure would fine vehicle owners up to $750 for a third (or subsequent) violation.

And now, for your viewing pleasure. The object of the latest bit of retardation, the ban I mean, not the wheels ;)

Darwin knocking…

Just when I thought people couldn’t get any stupider than Timothy Treadwell

It was unclear why Karen Aerts, 37, entered the cheetah cage late Sunday, Olmense Zoo spokesman Jan Libot said. She was found dead in the cage, Libot told VTM television.

Aerts, from the city of Antwerp, was a regular visitor to the zoo, which is 90 kilometers (55 miles) northeast of Brussels.

One of the cats that killed her was named Bongo. Aerts had adopted Bongo under a special program, paying for food for the cat, Libot said.

“Karen loved animals. Unfortunately the cheetahs betrayed her trust” he said.

senator iPod

Hmm, Senator iPod’s position on… oh, everything?

I’m not sure whether to laugh or scream…

SENATOR CARL KRUGER REPEATEDLY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY RESPONSES TO CITIZENS ON ISSUES THROUGH THE 2006 NATIONAL POLITICAL AWARENESS TEST WHEN ASKED TO DO SO BY

Key national leaders of both major parties including:
John McCain, Republican Senator
Geraldine Ferraro, Former Democratic Congresswoman
Michael Dukakis, Former Democratic Governor
Bill Frenzel, Former Republican Congressman
Richard Kimball, Project Vote Smart President

Over 100 news organizations throughout the nation also urged their candidates to supply their issue positions through the National Political Awareness Test.

Though I guess it figures that a guy so out of touch with the constituency wouldn’t feel the need to make his positions known to us mere mortals

Update: It doesn’t exactly look like Senator iPod is looking both ways while standing in the middle of the street in this picture does it?

Senator iPod

I’m just sayin…

I’ve got to get outta here

Oh, great, now the whole f’ing state’s going SuperNanny.

(CBS) NEW YORK First it was cell phones in cars, then trans fats. Now, a new plan is on the table to ban gadget use while crossing city streets.

We all seem to have one — an iPod, a BlackBerry, a cell phone — taking up more and more of our time, but can they make us too distracted to walk safely? Some people think so.

If you use them in the crosswalk, your favorite electronic devices could be in the crosshairs.

Legislation will be introduced in Albany on Wednesday to lay a $100 fine on pedestrians succumbing to what State Sen. Carl Kruger calls iPod oblivion.

“We’re talking about people walking sort of tuned in and in the process of being tuned in, tuned out,” Kruger said. “Tuned out to the world around them. They’re walking into speeding cars. They’re walking into buses. They’re walking into one another and it’s creating a number of fatalities that have been documented right here in the city.”

Pedestrians have been hurt and killed in the manner Kruger describes. Not surprisingly, though, iPod users are less than thrilled with the senator’s proposal.

“That’s not a distraction,” said one woman, iPod securely implanted in her ears. “You have your iPod in your ears and you’re crossing the street, you are looking with your eyes. You don’t have to hear anything, really … I guess.”

Added another New Yorker: “It’s a terrible idea. It’s outrageous.”

Kruger said not so fast.

“If you want to listen to your iPod, sit down and listen to it,” Kruger declared. “You want to walk in the park, enjoy it. You want to jog around a jogging path, all the more power to you, but you should not be crossing streets and endangering yourself and the lives of others.”

Kruger’s bill would only apply to big cities across New York state. We don’t know what kind of support it has in Albany, but he hopes that the New York City Council, which has already banned indoor smoking and trans fats in restaurants, will pick up the cue.

Would someone please clue in Mr. Kruger… people are sometimes retarded, and you can’t fix stupid.
